How to become the candidate law firms remember

Learn how to stand out to law firms, show genuine motivation, demonstrate your potential, and make a lasting impression on recruiters.

What makes a candidate memorable when law firms receive thousands of applications every year? In this session, we'll explore what really helps aspiring solicitors stand out throughout the recruitment process, from researching firms effectively and demonstrating commercial awareness to showcasing your skills, potential and genuine motivation. Our panellists will challenge common misconceptions about what recruiters are looking for, discuss how to use AI responsibly during the application process, and share practical advice on leaving a lasting impression at every stage of your journey into law.
